Video: Bristol Palin Dishes the Dirt on Meghan and Cindy McCain
Meghan McCain and her obnoxious “beer” heiress mother has it coming. Both of their sanctimonious portrayals of Republican values actually make me sick – almost as much as the flip-flopping of the sometimes conservative Senator John McCain.
Now, I can barely tolerate the elder Senator because he has endured a lot for this country, but those two – well, MEH…..
On to the quotes:Palin writes that the first time she met the 26-year-old daughter of Sen. John McCain, she “ignored us during the entire visit.” This was just before Senator McCain introduced Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palin adds that she “had a sneaking suspicion I might need to watch my back.”
“Every time we saw Meghan, she seemed to be constantly checking us out, comparing my family to hers and complaining,” she writes. “Oh the complaining.”
Cindy McCain, the senator’s wife, also rubbed the eldest Palin daughter the wrong way.
“I’d never seen people with so much Louis Vuitton luggage, so many cell phones, and so many constant helpers to do hair and makeup,” Palin writes, adding that the would-be first lady looked “like a queen” and held “herself like royalty.”
Palin writes that she was shocked when the senator’s wife offered to be a godmother to her unborn baby: “I had just met her and I wondered why she wanted any type of guardianship over my child.”
Bristol will be on Good Morning America to promote her book on Monday as she makes the rounds of the book circuit. Somehow I think there will be a response from Cindy and Meghan McCain prior.
Or, will Senator McCain urge restraint?
Probably not…..

President 2012: Obama’s Speech on Middle East and North Africa – The Reaction
U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton talk with invited guests after his speech about the United States policy on the Middle East and North Africa at the State Department in Washington, May 19, 2011. Obama on Thursday invoked the killing of Osama bin Laden as a chance to recast relations with the Arab world and said the top U.S. priority was to promote democratic change across the region. Obama, in his much-anticipated “Arab spring” speech, also ratcheted up pressure on Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, saying for the first time that he must stop a crackdown on protests and lead a democratic transition “or get out of the way”
The reaction to President Obama’s speech (transcript) yesterday (video) was swift and certain from his potential 2012 GOP opponents. Here is a sampling.
- Mitt Romney – “President Obama has thrown Israel under the bus. He has disrespected Israel and undermined its ability to negotiate peace.”
- Tim Pawlenty – “To send a signal to the Palestinians that America will increase its demands on our ally Israel, on the heels of the Palestinian Authority’s agreement with the Hamas terrorist organization, is a disaster waiting to happen. At this time of upheaval in the Middle East, it’s never been more important for America to stand strong for Israel and for a united Jerusalem.”
- Mitch Daniels – “What is going on in the Arab world these days has little or nothing to do with Israel or Palestine, it has to do with tyrannical regimes which have really stifled prospects for their people who are now restless for a better life… I don’t think right now it pays very much of a dividend to try to cut the Gordian Knot of Israel and Palestine.”
- John McCain – This is setting a limitation on the boundaries of the state of Israel without regard to the Israelis having a country that they can defend militarily..” http://bit.ly/m4lMyx
- Eliot Abrams – “On the whole, the president’s comments about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will lead nowhere. It is striking that he suggested no action: no meeting, no envoy, no Quartet session, no invitations to Washington.” http://on.cfr.org/mxSqsG
My take on this is that most Americans don’t give a flying flip about this issue. They object to their tax money being used to adjudicate a dispute that has been going on for thousands of years.
So, this will not hurt Obama (execpt with his left-wing Jewish donors) and certainly not help the GOP candidates (since Jewish voters go about 75% for the Dems and are concentrted in New York and California – states which won’t be in play in the Electoral College.)

Glenn Beck: “Obama BETTER Than McCain”
Mark Levin Show 9/21/09As all of you know, Flap has been NO fan of John McCain. But, to say that Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton for that matter is better for the Presidency than McCain is NUTSOID.
Marl Levin in the video above makes the case.
Exit question: Will Glenn Beck recant or continue to RANT?

Kick LOSERS like Mark McKinnon Out of the GOP
Political strategist Mark McKinnon and Senator John McCain
Flap agrees with Dan Riehl on this one.McKinnon’s piece in the Daily Backstabber is about enough to make me throw up in my mouth – not unlike McCain’s loser daughter, Meghan.
I say kick his ASS out and any Republican using his political consulting services should be denied party financial support.
Same goes for Nicolle Wallace also formerly of Bush and McCain – but that is another story.

Day By Day by Chris Muir August 2, 2009 – Effete Elites
Well, the grades on Obama’s Presidency are coming out and the Grade of “F” is coming from the President’s Republican rival John McCain.The Congressional Democrats and the President with their massive majorities have lost touch with the American people – as if the anti-Bush and anti-GOP sentiment was ever a mandate for left-wing “hope and change” anyway. Their legislative and political agenda is clear – more government.
Is MORE what the American people desire?
Uh – NO
But the “elites” of the Democrat Party know what is best for Americans. They tell you so.
I don’t think this is going to fly.
And, Obamacare?
Read what John McCain has to say about the lack of bipartisanship.
Sen. John McCain has some advice for Democrats: have a “true sit-down†with Republicans on health care reform legislation.
“Well, first of all, unfortunately, there was no input by Republicans in the writing of the bill,†McCain said of the version of the legislation that came out of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. “It was all a Democrat proposal. That’s not the way you want to begin if you’re really interested in a true bipartisan result.â€
“It’s got to be a true sit-down,†McCain added. “OK, what are you going to concede … how we can come together? Not: here’s the plan, how can we fix it so it satisfies enough of you to call it ‘bipartisan?’
“That’s a huge difference.â€
Saying President Obama needs to be more specific about the reform proposals he favors, McCain also faulted how his former rival is handling health care reform.
“The president has laid out some ideas,†McCain said in an interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union. “But I think the president has got to be more specific when we come down to exactly what these proposals are.
“And I don’t think he’s done that.
“I think they may have over learned the lesson of the Clinton proposal in ’93, McCain added, “where they were totally specific proposals. Now there’s not enough.â€
When Obama goes on a health care reform campaign this August, he will be forced to answer specific questions on specific issues.
Good luck with that.

John McCain to Endorse Meg Whitman for California Governor Tomorrow
Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., flanked by former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, left, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, makes a statement on the economy after an economic roundtable in Cleveland, Ohio, Octoober 27, 2008
In a political tit for tat, Senator John McCain will endorse former eBay CEO Meg Whitman for California Governor tomorrow.Although Whitman hasn’t officially announced her candidacy, McCain will endorse the Republican at a town hall meeting in Orange County and then join her in Fresno for a news conference. Whitman’s spokesman Mitch Zak said that McCain’s support “continues the campaign’s momentum.”
“John McCain is an American hero,” Zak said of the 2008 Republican presidential nominee. “We’re honored and humbled to have his endorsement. We’re looking forward to working with him to improve California.”
Whitman served as national co-chair of McCain’s presidential campaign. She received another endorsement Thursday when House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Virginia, announced that he was backing her.
“The state needs a leader with a creative vision, with a formula for success that can address the fiscal challenges that you face and there is no one better than Meg Whitman,” Cantor said in a statement posted on Whitman’s web site. “I’m very honored to be part of her team.”
Meg Whitman has positioned herself well with national GOP leaders McCain, Mitt Romney and Eric Cantor endorsing her before a contested primary. Although this will be a blow to California Republican Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner candidacy it will not necessarily be a fatal one. The other GOP candidate Tom Campbell can only hope that the ad war between Whitman and Poizner turns off California voters.
Steve Poizner continues with an overwhelming majority of endorsements from state GOP leaders but unless he makes a positive case soon, the ads from McCain and Mitt Romney supporting Whitman will simply overwhelm his candidacy.
Update:
Here is video with Eric Cantor endorsing Whitman:

John McCain’s mom bad mouths Rush on the tonight show, lol Rush says shes right and thats why Republicans keep losing.Rush Limbaugh responded to Roberta McCain’s criticism of his tough radio persona Thursday, joking over the fact “McCain’s mother is dumping on me.”
“She is absolutely right” in her assessment that that she belongs to a different Republican Party than he does, Limbaugh said during his radio show: “The Republican Party she belongs to gets shellacked election after election after election.”
In an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno Wednesday, the outspoken 97-year-old mother of Sen. John McCain said, to cheers from the audience, that Limbaugh “does not represent the Republican Party that I belong to.”

Poll Watch: 50 Per Cent of Arizona GOP Voters Say Senator John McCain Out of Touch with Republican Party Base
Arizona Republican voters don’t see Senator John McCain having much trouble winning the GOP Senate Primary next year, but 50% believe he has lost touch with his party’s base. Conservatives are even more critical of the longtime incumbent.
Forty-three percent (43%) of Arizona Republican voters offer a more positive assessment and say McCain has done a good job representing GOP values, according to a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state.
Nationally, 69% of GOP voters believe that Republicans in Congress are out of touch with the party’s base. A recent analysis by Scott Rasmussen suggested that the Beltway GOP is on a continuing “path to irrelevance.
Among all voters in Arizona, 45% say McCain has lost touch with GOP voters in the state, while 38% say he’s done a good job representing the party’s values.
But, even so, Senator John McCain is a heavy favorite for re-election next year. He is viewed favorably by 65 per cent and unfavorably by 35 per cent.

Shocker: Maverick John McCain Throws Daughter Meghan Over The Side
Meghan McCain and her father, Senator John McCain
Well, sort of……Sen. John McCain told CNN Friday he doesn’t always see eye-to-eye with his outspoken daughter.
Meghan McCain, the 24-year-old daughter of the former Republican presidential nominee, has grabbed the media spotlight this year, thanks to a string of attention grabbing blog posts, television appearances and speeches.
Her comments critical of some of her party’s positions, and jabs at some senior Republicans like former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Bush senior advisor Karl Rove, have made her one of this year’s hottest young GOP pundits.
“I love and respect my daughter, and I appreciate the fact that she brings fresh views and ideas and we need that in our party,” the senator said Friday on CNN’s American Morning. “We don’t always agree, and sometimes we have spirited discussions, and that is good in families.”
Flap knew this would happen after Meghan attacked Rudy Giuliani, Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney yesterday on the View.
Plus, the Maverick has an Arizona Republican primary challenge where he needs to raise some money.
Who do you think will do fundraisers for John McCain now?
